She's cooking curry tonight...

[Baldbloke]

Up until today my lass could cook up sausage and mash or burgers and beans. Plain stuff. Now I've encouraged her to branch out and try expanding her kitchen cooking horizons. She's just gone in to the kitchen. Attempting to make a curry for the first time. I'm scared.

Update: it was fantastic.

Had a kip after one of the nicest currys I've ever had. That's the thanks she gets My fears were in vain. It really was nice. She can make that again. It was hot but not too hot. Nice to taste. It was just right.

You need to confirm with us in the morning for the final verdict. It’s about 10-12 hours after a newbies curry until you’re out of the danger zone.

Gone are the days I'd try to force down a shop bought vindaloo. That was 20 years ago. That was a lesson learned. I never want to experience that ring of fire again. About 3 days my guts were on fire.

its actually really simple. get one of the goldfish style curry pastes . chop a onion. a pepper. add few chillis add meat. done. madras goldfish probably nicest. normal is good if you dont like heat. hot n spicy if you like heat. can also just add more chillis if you want silly hot.

Sounds ok. Might give it a try.

What's stopping you from cooking?

Hmm. Interesting concept. But, nah.
Seriously though, It has been known. Just not very often. I'm sure she'd be delighted If I cooked for her once in a while. I really ought to make the effort.

Was this a cooked from scratch curry or a jar of stuff tipped over some chicken?

It was a Patak kit. Some may frown but It was really good and she did a great job of it. This culinary attempt was way beyond the burger and beans she usually aspires to.

And the curry?

Yes the curry. I'm 62, she's 58. The only thing that could be fantastic at my age is food. Any other activity would be deemed miraculous as opposed to fantastic
